    Can you put a box inside the box?

    • AssociatedModecom @ Bloke Boxes on 26/07/2015 - 17:25

      Hi Risto,

      Not exactly sure what you mean? You want them to open the first box, then have to open a second? They are all the same size, which makes it a bit tricky.

      Hope that answered the question!

    These are effectively hampers.
    Hampers are usually massively overpriced themed collections of goods.
    The niche they hope to fill is the age-old problem of buying gifts for men, who mostly don't give a toss about gifts and are impossible to buy for. So far, so good.
    Buuuut this is Ozbargain, home of the hard-core value seeking penny pincher. People here will immediately ignore the novelty hamper aspect and add up the actual value of the goods.
    Deeee-dawww not a match.

    Probably best in Home type lifestyle shops or dept stores?
    I really wish you all the best with his idea. I respect anyone that has the motivation to bring a good idea to market.

    • loulou1 on 26/07/2015 - 17:33

      Exactly. I looked at the old school lollies box as that would appeal to my dad. But the price they say it is worth is seriously inflated, even at half price. I would be better to do a Woolworths/Coles online deliver order and then get full packets of the lollies instead of a couple of each. Would still be cheaper, only thing is it wouldn't come in a box with a crow bar.

      • PVA on 26/07/2015 - 18:42

        of course you can buy separate items but its not really the same is it.
        the novelty of the box and crow bar is what makes it unique i think.

        • loulou1 on 26/07/2015 - 19:58

          I agree, but I would not pay that much extra for a box, which includes a few of each instead of the whole bags I can get for less elsewhere every day of the week

        Just go to Coles in person and arrange to meet up with your dad. I'm sure he'd love that way more.

    Why so expensive? None of the products seem to even be known brands, yet the price is a premium. Who makes the razer?

    • theworks on 26/07/2015 - 17:38

      The premium is the wooden box. I don't think anyone would reasonably buy a hamper for themselves, these are gifts.

      Shipping, probably. Pretty much the main reason why we can't have nice (online shopping) things in this country.

  • CandyMan on 26/07/2015 - 18:12

    Better off doing babe boxes. Blokes usually don't care about these things

    as a gift these look great, price isn't bad for what it is.
    If it came up later in the year toward xmas I would probably get one.

  • [Deactivated] on 26/07/2015 - 18:43

    You also might need to update your product pages. I saw this at the end of your clean shave box, $150 worth of goods for only $99.95. But you have it listed for $119.95 at the top of the page. I saw this problem on all the other boxes I looked at.

    Still I do like the idea.

    Fitness Box
    Suspension training - $20
    Push up bars - $12
    Ab wheel - $13
    Plus some other junk barely gets you to $50 and it's $59 after the 50% off promo.

    Well done OP for starting a new business and giving it a shot but like others have said, we are not your ideal market!
    Push your Facebook and Google marketing presence as you want to go after the desperate Googlers or Facebookers that don't really care about the guy they are buying for and want a quick fix to the upcoming party. I would price your boxes closer to $50 as that is the usual price most people are comfortable spending on a present.

    I'm a bloke, and if someone bought me this for fathers day (and I then googled it to see it was $100+) I'd be pissed a Bunnings or JB HiFi voucher wasnt given instead.

    Chicks care less about value in a gift and will happily pay for pretty wrapping (as part of the 'gift').

    I see the premise behind the bloke box, in that it would be fun to crack it open.
    But the disappointment once inside would sour the gift.

    Good luck with your business venture, but as already stated this would be best served in the men's department of a retailer like David Jones or Myers.
    Plenty of tacky last minute gift ideas there that this product would easily trump.

    At half price, these boxes would do well for the $50 gift limit people. But for the $100 'normal price', it wont cut it because at that price there's a lot of nice things to be purchased.

    • syousef on 27/07/2015 - 18:20

      A gift card just makes you an unsecured creditor and limits you to one store or a small number of them. Remember when book retailers like Dymocks decided to stop honouring them because they were "in receivership". They are the biggest scam perpetrated and it's well known that retailers love them because so many expire unclaimed. What is wrong with cash and a hand-written note with a suggestion of where to use it? That's no less thoughtful than a gift certificate, and unless your government falls or your economy falls you aren't going to be left with excuses as to it won't be honoured. Cash is tacky right? Wrong. We've been had. Also diamonds aren't forever and their scarcity is artificial.

    Geez some people are harsh here!
    It's a novel idea for those of us that don't know what to get sometimes for presents. We for instance have a Grandson on the way. Everything when a couple have a baby revolves around the new Mum and rightly so! This is just a novel way without to much expense to get something a bit fun for the new Dad. Same with the other boxes. Maybe not the cheapest compared to doing it yourself, but calculate the time to do it yourself. Something a bit different for a gift. Good luck with your new business.

      They did a lot more than that. They dressed up in stupid insulting bogan clothing and fake mustache to create a web site that exaggerates the price of the goods and tries to sell this junk as a bargain.

    "Why so cheap?" Are you freakin' kidding me???? $20 worth of lollies, not $120, for $100 and I'm being generous. All because it's in a stupid box and comes with a crowbar!?

    Box of baloney? Box of manure?

    I've got a bridge owner's certificate to sell you in a box.

    There is nothing more manly than the sound of crunching wood as he opens his gift.

    To be honest, I prefer the practicality of a simple wrapped gift box. I just untie the bow, rip the wrapping paper, and voilà, the gift lies before me. Using a crowbar seems like quite a lot of work.

    But hey, what do I know right? I'm just an effeminate French poof-faggot who probably isn't the target demographic for this product anyway.

    Every box is packed with a touch of man-love and is guaranteed to bring fun, happiness and good memories

    Then again, maybe…
